pandoc-jinja

Render pandoc metadata inside the document itself

Example

Write a markdown file, define metadata variable, and use them inside the with double brackets.

---
title: 'Greetings !'
bonjour: 'Hello'
...

## {{ title | upper }}

{{ bonjour }}, {{name}} !

You can also define variable from the command line with --metadata or --metadata-file :

$ pandoc foo.md --filter=pandoc-jinja --metadata=name:world
<h2 id="title">GREETINGS !</h2>
<p>Hello, world !</p>

Disclaimer

• This filter is slow. In most cases, it is probably more efficient to render the entire document once and for all with jinja and then pass it to pandoc.

• Jinja conditionals and loops are not supported.

Install

pip install pandoc-jinja
